  "summary": "Senate President Godswill Akpabio and Kogi Central Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan have remained silent on allegations made by US-based activist Sandra Duru, who claims Akpabio engaged her to campaign against the senator. The latest audio recording, released on social media, contradicts Duru's earlier claims and allegedly includes Akpabio discussing political developments. However, the authenticity of the recording and the identities of the voices remain unverified. Both Akpabio's office and Akpoti-Uduaghan's team declined to comment on the matter.",
